90% of it is just misandrist bait, and its just an echochamber of misandry.

Locking. Rule 1 - Sealioning!
Echo chambers be echo chambers.
why would you expect it to be any different?
most single gender spaces end up that way.
Just remember that everyone on the internet is a robot trying to piss you off in order to siphon your vital essence
More subs than that one. There be some zealous motherfuckers lurking around these fora.
There’s misandry communities?
Where?
Edit: aw a downvote and no answer? I’m curious, where’s all these misandry communities you speak of?
I won’t defend the OP because he’s surely just an embarrassing attention seeker, but in return I’ll say that you can’t really say that there isn’t misandry out there, especially on the leftist side of Lemmy, just as you can’t say that there isn’t a black swan out there (i.e. the induction problem), and in fact there are a lot of misandric women, and you can’t just rationalize it as a “valid reaction to centuries of oppression” because it’s a genetic fallacy. (where someone is held responsible for something they were not involved in because they were born much later, just because they are a descendant of that group).
maybe post some examples of what you find distasteful, OP?
man vs bear gender war garbage
and what man has been alive for centuries? you talking to nosferatu?
Is comedy illegal now? We can’t laugh about choosing the bear?
You found two shitposts. Congrats. Thanks for ignoring the majority of the content that’s actually there.
the actual essence of the community and the thoughts and ideas are reflected not in your posts but in your ideologies

Very impressive that you can divine the essence of a community, not reflected in posts, just by reading a bunch of posts and making assumptions about them. That’s a neat trick.
the posts, replies, etc
Don’t you see that a gathering of women without male escorts is expressly forbidden on Lemmy?
We can’t be trusted on our own apparently.
Let’s see you bring this energy to any of the multiple shitposting communities that are majority male.
Let women have our spaces. It’s the only community that’s ours. Women are allowed to be upset about how men at large treat us, how they rape and beat us, how men laugh at our genitals, our hobbies, our passions.
We’re allowed to talk about our lives.
theres no mensstuff community, but I do call out sexist content when I see it, be it misogynistic or misandrist.
Don’t you see? Men are so HURT by the bear thing! You just have to choose the man! Come on da lil bear is so scawwy, how could you possibly choose that?
Do you think it irks them so much because it’s true, and they can’t admit it? It’s like every time they bring it up it proves the point. Insane.
This bear thing is so funny. I’m a man and I’d rather encounter a bear in the woods than a stranger man.
You can learn how to prevent or protect yourself from bear attacks in a 4-hour training.
With a stranger, you have no idea how he’ll react.Anyone who says this has literally never encountered a bear before
I’ve been charged and nearly killed by a grizzly near Nordegg AB like 10 years ago. Bear spray did nothing.
Hundreds upon hundreds of humans met on the trail and none have tried to kill me.
I worked as a hiking guide in the Chilcotin Mountains for a year, and did a Grizzly population count for a land use report during that time. I literally had more than one bear encounter per week, sometimes 5 in a day.
You’re a hiking guide, and you think a random person in the woods is scarier than a bear? I am sorry but I just don’t believe you.
Yeah all those women raped, beat, kept captive, impregnated, murdered, tortured - that was just bears in men’s suits.
Silly us.
If you encountered as many bears as you did men, you wouldn’t be alive lol.
This debate is garbage though. You’ll never get close to a bear in your entire life so having this conversation with you is pointless
Dude, chill out, neither of those are misandry.
He wouldn’t be able to misrepresent what that community actually is about if he did that.
Edit to include IF it’s an echo chamber of misandry. Who cares, let em vent. If they dedicated a space for it, leave em to it.
Nothing bad has ever happened from letting bigotry run rampant on an online space controlled by people who encourages bigotry
Is a wild take in 2026…
Like, I don’t even know if OP is talking about reddit or somewhere here that I’ve had blocked for so long I forgot it exists
But if you really cant see an issue with echochambers of bigotry and how that’s going to wind up, you really should spend more time listening/reading and less time telling people not to worry about shit.
Not like it’s in the top 100 problems, but it’s still a problem. And the good thing about society is not everyone has to be worried about the same shit.
Yeah talking about what we would pair with a sweater or talking about our Monday motivations or supporting DKP’s garden adventures is total misandry. You got us.
no, bigotry against an entire gender, aka Sexism.
the space itself existing is great, a woman only community.
But the discussions that go on there arent.
Have you seen Lemmy at large? The amount of misogyny that’s laid bare doesn’t bother you, but a couple of shitposts from women make you concerned?
it does.
all types of bigotry bother me.
please dont engage in whataboutism
Nah, I don’t play with men who won’t police other men, but will attack women for the “same” shit.
Stay in your lane.
What are you on about? Do we have to discuss sexism against men when discussing sexism against women every time? I personally dont think so. Sexism can happen to either gender and we can discuss both without touching on the problems of the opposing sex.
This guy is trying to have a discussion on a problem and you shove it aside by completely unjustified assumptions about the poster.
It’s not a real problem! He’s fucking lying about what the community actually is!
And you’re just fucking believing him. Shocker.
How is it not a real problem if women are being sexist? I am not claiming that all women are, and I am not claiming that every woman in said community is, but there is some form and amount of sexism present and I think this is an issue.
I like it that when someone on the Fediverse post sexist shit against women in the of “women bad” it almost always gets called out, this is great. The same thing should happen on posts about “men bad” (again, I am not claiming it does not happen currently, hard to judge because such posts are seen much less frequent).
What I would have liked to see in this thread is: “hey, there are some people in this community posting sexist shit, this is not okay.”, the same way you would see in a discussion about an incel forum (again, here for clarification, I am not claiming that womensstuff is a femcel forum). What i see tough in this thread is that sexism against men is not called out similarly as sexism against women.
I will police other men.
Fucking doubt.
Speaking as a man: Stop white knighting my gender.
We don’t need your protection or worry.
Women making jokes on our expense does not hurt us.
That is simply false by counter example alone
What the fuck. Dude, don’t presume to speak for our gender, you’re doing the same lame bullshit that he does, you’re both losers. Move on.
You should smile more.
I checked out their feed since I figured I must have missed a big burst of bad content, but I don’t see anything misandrist. I see a few posts critical of certain men, but even that’s the minority of content.
Even going through comments I see only a healthy amount of misandry. I don’t see any organizing of violence against all men, or even normalizing of it.
If you’re feeling triggered by the things you see in a space meant for an oppressed class to vent then I think you’re just too sensitive.
A “healthy amount of misandry”? Misandry is hate towards men, what amount of hate is healthy?
healthy amount of misandry
??? Bro, damn
But do I tag this user as “troll” or “misogynist”?
I went with
Misandry does not exist.
You do not exist.
Wake up.
Continuing to police women, I see.
Louder for the back!
Misandry isn’t the reverse of misogyny. There’s no anti-men power structures being kept in place by women, there isn’t women-dominated governments stripping men of their rights, there’s no systemic violence against men perpetuated by women in power.
There are certainly individuals that hate men, but misandry simply doesn’t exist the same way misogyny does.
Thank you for your comment.
You’ve mistaken misogyny/misandry with patriarcy/matriarchy.
Misandry is by definition the hatred of, distrust of, or prejudice against men, as misogyny is the same against women.
You’ve mistaken institutional sexism with individual sexism.
As I said previously, individuals can be misandrist.
misandry isnt the reverse of misogyny
Except it is
You’re ignoring all the context in that paragraph.
“Doesn’t exist” is a weird way of saying “it’s not as prevalent as the other thing”.
It doesn’t exist the way misogyny does. They’re not equivalent.
Lorena and Aileen. 💜 Yeah. I’m that individual.
Good for you 💕
To be precise, misandry exists, but it doesn’t have the same societal support that mysogyny does. Both exist, but one has a noticeable effect in the broader world where as the other mostly has effects only in limited spaces where the individual has enough control to override the default power imbalance.
Thank you for expanding on my comment.
Institutional misandry doesn’t exist is the more precise parent statement.
Unless you’re in the intended audience for the community, you should probably block it, so that it’s kept out of your mind
I’m not a woman and it’s none of my business what happens on womanstuff so I blocked it.
